First, the text message memory only held about 30 messages so I felt like i was deleting all of my messages at least 5 times a day probably more. Then, i didn't like the fact that every time i closed the phone, the lock was activated and i have to press the left side button, then OK. to be able to use the buttons on the front without opening the phone. I tried for so long to get that feature deactivated, but couldn't figure it out. Next, the battery life was terrible, could not hold a charge to save my life!! I had it for a while, but after about 6-7 months i was ready for a change!<br /><br />Pros:<br />Great vivid colorful screen<br />Great picture frames<br />Good Reception<br /><br />Cons:<br />Poor battery life<br /><br />Keyguard that won't seem to deactivate<br /><br />Video records smaller than actual screen size<br /><br />Small text message memory</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Great Phone that I'm buying it again!https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=22968#review22968

I looked at the reviews before I bought my first one about 1 year ago. And I saw the negative reviews but I took a chance on it and the phone is awesome. I'm even buying another one because I accidently broke my first one :-( <br /><br />I was going to buy another make and model but I couldn't find anything that compared to my samsung t809. It takes the best pictures, I just love it. <br /><br />Another plus is that I am hard of hearing and this phone is so loud that you have to always be turning the volume down when you speak with someone. <br /><br />It's a great phone. I can't wait to get my new one</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: good work of samsunghttps://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=20177#review20177

I will only mention the strongest CONS here because the pros are too many and people repeat them endlessly.<br /><br />Bad thing number one: If you wanted to sync with MICROSOFT OUTLOOK, i.e. your CALENDAR and your CONTACTS, then that is a big question. Phonescoop is incorrect when they say "YES" for that feature on their specs. The Samsung software that ships with the phone actually has the Outlook sync NOT function for this particular model. that was a bummer. HOWEVER, if it is important to you, then buy the third party phone syncing software called Datapilot. They say that they can do it. HOWEVER, NOTE: (a) if you are going to sync using bluetooth, BUY THEIR BLUETOOTH ADAPTER FOR YOUR COMPUTER. because their sync does not work with the default microsoft bluetooth, it wants WidComm or whatever that other fuller bluetooth system is. So buy Datapilot's bluetooth adapter unless you are certain that your bluetooth is widcomm (very much doubt that.) (b) if for some reason you're not thinking to sync using bluetooth but instead want to use a cable, BUY Datapilot's USB cable. their software doesn't work with the default samsung usb cable. they have some funky proprietary kind.<br /><br />Bad thing number two: no voice dialing for those of us that really make use of a hands-free earpiece. Oh well! no huge deal.<br /><br />I really am considering flashing the software into the d820, as described elsewhere on this forum and also around the posts on this site:<br />http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=890496&amp;page=17&amp;pp=15</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Was good, but now disappointedhttps://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19609#review19609

I loved how it slides and I think it looks really nice. Not cheap at all. But I started having problems with it after about six months. Sometimes when someone called me, it wouldn't let me answer it OR deny it. It just kept ringing. Also, sometimes when I end a call, it freezes and I have to take the battery out then put it back in because I can't do anything with it.<br /><br />I sent it in to T-Mobile and they sent me another one (I had to pay the shipping, even though it wasn't my fault that the phone was being stupid) but this new one does the same things, only not as bad. I'm thinking that the model of phone is maybe a lemon. I'm just getting really frustrated so I bought a T509 off of e-bay so I can switch in and out. <br /><br />Aside from these problems, I love the phone!<br /><br />PROS:<br />Convenient slider<br />Awesome camera<br />MP3 player<br />T-Mobile is a great carrier<br />Nice large menu icons<br /><br />CONS:<br />Freezes after calls and sometimes from- incoming calls<br />Short battery life<br />Low texting memory</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Good Review for D820 not t809https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19427#review19427

Litterally everything I didn't like about the T809 is fixed by doing this:<br />~Acsending ringer = fixed<br />~Vibe &amp; Ring together = fixed<br />~Lack of email client = fixed<br />~install of non-signed java apps = fixed<br />~Mp3 ringtones without renaming = fixed<br />~Unlock phone for use with any GSM carrier = fixed<br />~Can't turn off camera shutter sound = Fixed<br />~Asign different soft keys functions = fixed<br />and much more.<br /><br />the only reason I gave this phone a 4.5 instead of a 5 is because of the lack of voice dailing on a phone that has a voice recorder, this doesn't make sense. and the battery life just plain sucks I'm luck if i get through one day of use without a recharge.<br /><br />Oh, and i think the guys at phone scoop should do a seperate review for the D820 firmware because it is truely a completely different phone. Or at least note in the specs analasist the differences between the two firmwares. To simply put it in the title isn't enough. The D820 firmware truly shows how this phone was ment to be used.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: BEST...

I have had the phone since it came out and, I have "upgraded" it twice and still, I come back to my t809. It has a crystal clear LCD screen and, the camera is amamzing. The sound quality is excellent. I can hear my phone ringing while walking in downtown San Francisco during rush hour. It is very user friendly and, take a good beating to. Plus, this phone looks downright down dope with the sleek black finsh. The drawsback is battery life, I have to carry around my charger everwhere.

The reception is good, even when there is one bar on my phone, I can still hear the other person on the line just fine.<br /><br />The 3 most annoying features about this phone are that the battery life is pretty short, it is difficult to slide open without putting your fingers all over the screen, and that it freezes/lags sometimes. <br /><br />I got this phone through T-Mobile for a pretty good deal so although it's not perfect, I can't say that I feel jipped.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Best phone on markethttps://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=18696#review18696

If I flip open a phone then I often press a button by accident which annoys me. And I have only pressed a button twice on the T809.<br />It's better than the RAZR and the SLVR because those two can break easily.<br /><br />Cons<br />I cannot find the Bluetooth.<br />The sliding is getting squeaky.<br />Some photos looked "smeared". <br />The web browser is slow.<br />I love the games but the sound is too high and I am having trouble lowering it.<br /><br /><br />It's a great phone but not the best.

I can have 0 bars, but still make a perfectly clear call<br />For some reason, my phone never breaks out....it will either not be able to make a call....or make crystal clear calls. The service is great...works better then my old Motorola (and they are known for having good service)<br />I accualy use this as my mp3 player, digital camara, and cell phone, and it can fill all those spots!<br />Battery isen't amazing, but nothing for me to complain about either!<br />I love the speakers, you can play large music<br /><br />You can watch full screen, video.<br />Try the phone out, the screen, is like nothing i'v seen before....it is GREAT<br />It looks amazing outdoors, you can see it perfetly<br /><br />Cons:<br />I have a new one coming (t-mobile is awesome) because my down button stopped working....but i'm getting a brand new on, no big deal<br />um...the sliding mechanism sort of loosens up after a little while. Not a big deal either, just expect it<br />Doesn't come with norm headphoen jack, but comes with nice headphones you can use with it, can also double as hands-free device<br /><br /><br />Overall, I have to say this is an awesome phone!! Defently worth the 150$ i droped on it....i also got a 1gb memory card...put a bunch of songs/music videos, and it tizzight!<br /><br />(all u do, when watching a video, is press one, and it turns from a thumbnail, to a full screen vid, its amazing)<br /><br />I was thinking about buying an extra batery, and putting a video or two, or 3 on the phone and watching it on an airplane ride....that would rock</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Amazing phone! the Besthttps://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17927#review17927

The whole "slider" idea scares me, and there is no real place to slide the phone up without getting fingerprints all over the screen. The Mp3 player caused me a major headache, first when I tried to load the software it said that it was not compatible with Windows XP, so I called T-Mobile and of course they put me on hold numerous times, then FINALLY after dealing with rude workers, I was transferred to the Samsung customer care, and they were closed! The T-Mobile representative who sent me there knew they were closed, yet she sent me there anyway. I figured out on my own that you have to download the XP software off of the Samsung website, but the whole "mp3 ringtone" was getting wayyyyyy to complicated. I only bought this phone becuase it included the memory card and the USB cable unlike the t609 which I had last week, but Im going to give up on the mp3 phones and purchase the Samsung t309. T-Mobile is realllllly starting to get on my nerves, but Im locked into the contract so I guess I have to deal.<br /><br />-----Pros------<br /><br />Bright Screen<br />Nice Camera<br />Slim<br /><br />-----Cons------<br /><br />Slider<br />Buttons too small (and I have small hands)<br />Creeks when opened after only a day<br />Have to Unlock it to do anything<br />Feels Fragile including the camera<br /><br />I didnt get a chance to experience the dust problem like everybody else, but I can see where it could leak into the screen.....</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: Samsung T809https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17630#review17630

I believe I just got it last week and I have had no problems whatsoever. T-Mobile was very pleasant and everything went smoothly with the purchase. As for the phone I am also very pleased. As a 15 year old, the phone satisfies all my needs and more with ease. The infamous dust problem has not effected the phone in any way and I am VERY relieved. Although I have not had this phone very long, I am pretty sure I will be just fine with it.<br /><br />Pros<br />-Sleek Appearance<br />-Easy Spring-Up Slide<br />-Nice Camera<br />-SO MANY OPTIONS, ringtones, backgrounds, layouts. I was overwhelmend with how many I had to choose from<br />-Good Sound<br />-Interesting Looking Games<br />-I am a newbie to T9 but this phone helped me master it in minutes.<br />-Phonebook is Nice<br />-Small<br />-Easy to use<br />-Nice Camera effects, mosiac, image editor<br />-Voice Notes<br />-MP3's can be used as ringers<br />-T-Mobile is very customer friendly.<br />Cons<br />-I don't like how the camera zooms out on things, like you could be very close to something, but when the picture is complete it is way farther back then how close you took it from.<br />-Charge holds a lot less longer than the Nokia I used to have but nothing to fret about.<br />-Finger print prone screen</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p>https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813User Review: very good phone at best?https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17611#review17611
